The use of vetch as a green manuring crop is becoming rather common in some sections of Alabama. Th~ legume is fall planted, uszally. in cotton or corn middles, and plowed under the following spring before planting cotton or corn. In order to secure the best results with the crop, it is essential to knc~w when the vetch should be planted in the fall and when it should be plowed under in the spring. This paper gives the results of three experiments, on the time of planting and turning vetch for cotton and corn. All experiments were on Norfolk sandy loam at Auburn.
